Agents for Bayer Leverkusen fullback Mitchell Bakker in Newcastle today | OneFootball

Bayer Leverkusen fullback Mitchell Bakker is a step closer to signing for Newcastle United.

L'Equipe says agents for the former PSG defender are in the Northeast with a view to arranging a move to the Magpies in the coming days.

The current offer from Newcastle is said to be €20m.

Last summer, Bakker moved from Paris to Leverkusen for €7m and signed a contract with the Bundesliga club until 2025.

The 21-year-old Dutchman immediately secured a regular place with the Werkself, but now could again be on the move.
